Through this high-spirited celebration of Jewish folk music, the history of Klezmer and the European stetl environment from which it sprang will be shared. Also as part of the show, each musician will talk informally about his own family’s ethnic roots and emigration. The audience will learn some Yiddish vocabulary, join in with the klezmorim (musicians), and even help enact a traditional Jewish wedding ceremony. The interactive concert is open to all ages, free of charge.

This program is made possible in part by the generous sponsorship of an OceanFirst Foundation Arts and Cultural Grant and with funding from the Ocean County Library Foundation and the Ocean County Library.
